Minutes Planning Commission 4/23/86 Commissioner Innes asked if any of the lots fall below the 20,000 sq. ft. minimum. Mr. Swift indicated he didn't believe they did. The public hearing was opened. Joe Gaffney, Bissell and Karn, represented the application. They are the engineers who prepared the Wagerman PUD also. Mr. Gaffney stated that the two subject properties are not part of PUD-83-10/12. Mr. Gaffney reviewed proposed streets with regard to the Combs, Skinner, Panganiban and Jennaro properties. Regarding comments made on Page 3 of the staff report, the Skinner house can be moved as there is plenty of room on his property. Chairman Wilson inquired as to the Fire Department's comments regarding the 25 feet common easement right turn to 21 feet. Mr. Swift responded that the turnaround basically will be on a common driveway. Mr. Gaffney stated that they can foresee some sort of hammerhead driveway for this purpose. The Commissioners and applicant discussed site development standards with regard to this project. Commissioner Michelotti discussed the issue of landscaping and the possibility of removing trees vs preserving them. Mr. Gaffney explained that previously the area was a walnut orchard. The applicant is generally in accord with the proposed street tree planting. Commissioner Wellman brought up the impact of flag lots with regard to the Jennaro property. Mr. Gaffney suggested that the project be conditioned to insure there would be no impact and that the matter can be more technically addressed at the tentative map stage. The public hearing was closed. Chairman Wilson stated he has no problem with the Skinner piece but felt Combs' driveway could create a problem with the Fire Department. Commissioner Hoyt didn't feel comfortable with the configuration of each parcel, especially at risking the aesthetics of the area. Commissioner Michelotti stated she did receive a call from Mrs. Selway, a homeowner who is unable to come to this meeting. Mrs. Selway was not opposed to the development but did object to this plan. Aside from the comments made by Mrs. Selway, Commissioner Michelotti stated she did not feel comfortable with the lot configuration, and was in accord with staff's position with regard to landscaping and drainage and could not support this application at this time. The public hearing was reopened and Pat Bitz, Commercial Brokers, spoke. He stated they would be more than willing to make changes necessary to get this project approved. - 3 -
